Everything you embodied, all the love you could have given lit a fire in my soul.
Unconquered heart and untouched mind,
Now hurricanes in the wake of spring.

People say love is blind, but you...
They've never been cursed with you.
There's light in your darkness and the vulnerability in your eyes,
Never has the night sky been so blue.

Loving you in another place
And caressing your skin with words,
But my feelings for you...
My feelings for you, I've hid.

Never one to play games, but for you I did.
Emotions raging and my heart in two,
And yet you're still the eye in the middle of this storm.
Calm and out of reach as I'm forced to conform...
To your every whim and every need.

Turbulent and out of control,
I've grown tired of this endless game.
Can we hit reset?

Can you hit reset...

Cause I don't think I can.

Weaved in black and white
Embraced by the endless wind
Rising in its flight
Lost in an eternal sin

It flutters through the air
Camouflaged in ruby red
Like an unknown plague everyone dreads

Reminiscing old memories
Shedding wasteful tears.
It re-writes long forgotten diaries
Calling forth all possible fears

It'll fly through your heart,
And disrupt the already broken beat
Causing the fragile thing to wind up in defeat

Darting right through the veins
Scattering all the blood
Drowning the victim in its poisonous flood

Invading your mind and killing your heart
Causing sweet dreams to fall apart.

Evading the infection is an impossible task
Because it wears an angelic mask
Luring its victims through its sparkling eyes
Telling them sweet and hopeful lies

Flying through the empty gray sky,
There is a bleeding butterfly.
